METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INSTITUTIONAL PROVISION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DECENTRALIZATION PROCESS
Abstract: The institutional system in Ukraine, which is characterized by the rule of interests of the authorities over the interests of the society, neglect of the rights of business agents, as well as the use of power for the personal benefit of officials, is investigated. At the same time, the state is the main institution for sustainable development, which should determine the priority economic, social and environmental activities. Responsible institutions are obliged to develop the necessary mechanisms to ensure sustainability, strengthen positions in the areas of human capital development and improve the quality of life. New governance tools and mechanisms will facilitate the involvement of the private sector in the implementation of sustainable development principles through renewed relationships between business entities based on equal partnership and the use of mechanisms to ensure the harmonization of business interests in achieving social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Irrationality, disproportionality, complexity of administrative-territorial entities of the united territorial communities were taken into account in this article. Ways of executive power institutionalization, development of territories in accordance with requirements of institutionalism, and its role and place in administrative-territorial reform were determined. It is argued that the only institutional set of society is an institutional matrix. Institutional matrix of society is presented as a stable triad of basic elements – macro-institutions that integrate and stabilize society: economy, politics, and culture. And the modernization of the system of public administration institutions, decentralization of powers to the level of united territorial communities should form a stable system of sustainable development of the territory and a safe socio-ecological and economic environment.
Key words: Ukrainian Decentralization of powers, executive power, sustainable development of territories, institutional matrix, territorial community, socio-ecological and economic security.
